WARM AND HUMID weather is what Met Éireann is forecasting until at least Sunday.
Temperatures are set to soar to 27 degrees in some parts of the country today and are expected to stay in the mid to high twenties for the rest of the week.

Of course, there will be the odd patches of mist and some cloud, we are in Ireland after all, but we’ll take what we can get.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!
We were spoiled over the weekend with people all over the country getting to bask in the glorious sunshine, a TheJournal.ie reader sent us this picture (below) of Garryvoe Beach in east Cork. Nice. You can send us your pictures of your time in the sun to tips@thejournal.ie.

Rovers Casuals rule the southside, Hoops are evil
This could be the week my freckles eventually join together as one. Gimme everything you got sun!
Use porridge soap for that, done the job for me years ago.
My daughter was born in June 2007 on the hottest weekend of the year. The day we left the hospital it started raining and basically hasn’t stopped. Every year the same “sunny spells with scattered showers”. This is the first year she got to do the little things like play in a paddling pool, burst tar bubbles, have a water fight without shivering afterwards etc. She is having a ball and I think some lovely memories are being made. All because of a little sunshine. Long may it last!! Have a great week everyone!
Bad day to wear a blue shirt to work…sweat patches!
Or light grey for that matter
Smellbag. You should try the lynx effect.
Be sun wise everybody …yes we all need sunlight to boost our systems & heighten our spirits, but stupidity will only leave us all sore for days on end…you can still get some colour with using good protective sunscreen. Skin cancer is a killer.
I was at work all Weekend and the Air con was broken. I am now off for the week and my Mum is coming to stay :-) looking forward to this sunny week. Have a good week everyone :-)
Dear thejournal, You’ve just made my week :)
Also the sea is still freezing!!!!!!
Stay safe if you are going in the water.
Already 21C. Predicted to hit 29C by 3 o clock. Beer garden here i come.
I wondered if my thermometer was fut. It read 20 at half eight this morning.
Tut…! I’m in work so I’m just looking out at sunshine as opposed to rain, suppose it puts you in better form.! ☀
People better not forget in this weather to drink plenty of water, even during the night. If you start getting a slight headache start drinking water it means your getting dehydrated.
County carlow feels like Monte Carlo . !
Costa del limerick 22 degrees here at 9 in the morning!!! Roll on kilkee
At last, Ireland gets a proper summer- we deserve it, after the last six brutal years! And I’m on three weeks off work from this week onwards, so I couldn’t have timed it better! I’m going to LIVE in my back garden! :-)
I’m wearing shorts to work today and I don’t care. My slacks and shirt are in my bag though. RAGE
The sun has got his hat on . What a day makes everybody. In good form except the coalman!
Irish weather prediction is diabolical I have a better method look out the window in the morning and if you can’t sence there might be a spot of rain later on Shock you might not be irish
That picture makes me want to do the Splash Tour
The Splash Tour does look deadly!
I cried for it…. and im sick of it
have your say
